	Although, he created the game of basketball at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, Dr. James A. Naismith was a Canadian. Working as a physical education instructor at the international YMCA, now Springfield College, Dr. Naismith noticed a lack of interest in exercise among students during the wintertime. The new England winters were fierce, and the students balked at participating in outdoor activities. Naismith determined that a fast-moving game that could be played indoors would fill a void after the baseball seasons had ended.
First he attempted to adapt outdoor games such a soccer and rugby to indoor play, but he soon found them unsuitable for confined areas. Finally, he determined that he would have to invent a game.
In December of 1891, Dr. Naismith hung two peach baskets at either end of the gymnasium at the school, and, using a soccer ball and nine player on each side, organized the first basketball game. The early rules allowed three points for it basket and make running with the ball a violation. Every time a goal was made, someone had to climb a ladder to retrieve the ball.
Nevertheless, the game became popular. In less than a year, basketball eas being played in both the United States and Canada. Five years later, a championship tournament was staged in New York City, Which was won by the Brooklyn Central YMCA.
The teams had already been reduced to seven player, and five became standard in the 1879 season. When basketball was introduced as a demonstration sport in the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, it quickly spread throughout the world. In 1906, a metal hoop was introduced to replace the basket, but the name basketball has remained.

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each 
	question 
 Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s king, he says in English, “check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says “check mate”. These words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means “the king dead”. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.
	Such an old game changes slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For examble, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why did has happen! Chess take time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The recond was when one man played 400 game! It is sad that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.
